TALLER BABIES

huck and i spent our afternoon yesterday on an organizational spree. every cupboard and drawer and storage box and closet, sweeping out the dust bunnies, putting away the summer shorts, and trying on old sweaters to see if they'd fit. we came across his halloween costume from last year, and just as i was about to let the "my baby's so big!" blues drown me in sorrow forever, we slipped it on him and i realized he's not as much bigger as i figured. it fit like a glove! as did all of his sweaters from last year, too...

i scratched my head for a minute. i swear he has gotten taller....

of course he has, except that sometimes i forget just how really really, really fat he was back then. like, soooooo fat. the fattest baby. all tasty and sugary. so all this old stuff that fit him tight across his belly then fits him just a little short in the arms now. it's kind of hysterical. and super depressing and is this the little boy i carried? and et cetera.

huck was so thrilled with his lion suit that he asked to wear it for his nap. i said yes because of course i was planning to never take it off of him ever again for the rest of his life. loooooook at hiiiiiiiimmmm!

ohhhh my god you dressed him up as charlie brown!! my heart broke at the sweetness of it. and please never take that lion costume off of him- ever. stick to your word, because he's too cute to handle in that

Natalie! After reading through your archives over the past few weeks, I felt compelled to go and rent You've Got Mail, which I'd never seen before. It's enchanting, I'm totally converted to Meg Ryan now. Thank you!

Can he be any cuter???? I love his face in the top photo. Those lips squashed together and those cheeks popped right out! My son makes the same face and it takes me by surprise every time. Needless to say, I constantly eat his cheeks.
